Dear group members, especially the people that work on photosynthesis, ultrafast and/or J-aggregates, Here is a very attractive invitation by Irene Burghardt to write a chapter in a textbook entitled "Ultrafast Biomolecular Dynamics at the Nanoscale". Chapters are usually quite a bit of work, but this one is 10-15 pages, and they even want some exercises. If any of you are interested in writing such a book chapter, write to me, as I need to decide if we can deliver by the deadline below, and what the chapter could/would be about, Cheers, Alan Alán Aspuru-Guzik | Associate Professor Harvard University | Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology 12 Oxford Street, Room M113 | Cambridge, MA 02138 (617)-384-8188 | http://aspuru.chem.harvard.edu | http://about.me/aspuru ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: <irene.burghardt(a)ens.fr> Date: Sun, Mar 13, 2011 at 2:51 PM Subject: Invitation to contribute a book chapter - "Ultrafast Biomolecular Dynamics at the Nanoscale" To: alan(a)aspuru.com Dear Alán, We are writing to invite you to contribute a chapter to a review volume on the topic of "Ultrafast Biomolecular Dynamics at the Nanoscale", which we are editing with Pan Stanford Publishing. Please find attached an invitation letter with further details. The volume aims at highlighting new trends in experimental and theoretical approaches to interactions and transport in biomolecular assemblies. Some focus will be put on elementary energy and charge transfer processes, and the role of quantum coherence, correlations, and nonequilibrium phenomena. We would be greatly honored and delighted if you could contribute a book chapter. The tentative deadline for collecting the manuscripts is July 2011, and publication is planned for early 2012. Looking forward to hearing from you, Best wishes, Irene Stefan Haacke & Irene Burghardt, Volume Editors -- Dr. Irene Burghardt Departement de Chimie Ecole Normale Superieure 24 rue Lhomond F-75231 Paris cedex 05 phone : +33 1 44 32 33 38 fax : +33 1 44 32 33 97 mailto:Irene.Burghardt@ens.fr http://www.chimie.ens.fr/UMR8642/Quantique/ ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.
